In this 27-minute documentary, renowned whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg describes the planetary threat posed by nuclear weapons and advocates how we can dramatically reduce the real and present danger of global nuclear annihilation.
Before he released the top secret Pentagon Papers during the Vietnam War, Ellsberg was a Pentagon nuclear war planner with access to a treasure trove of nuclear secrets.
Filmed one year before his death at age 92, Ellsberg speaks clearly and articulately about the dangers we face, noting, ”I’ve long said that to my last breath I will be doing what I can to postpone and avert the risk of nuclear war.”
With the recent end of the new START treaty and the threat of a renewed global arms race, An Ordinary Insanity is a timely film to help mobilize broad public concern and action for arms control and disarmament.
“AN ORDINARY INSANITY will both terrify and energize viewers.”
